[QUOTE=Venezuelan;44231940]Man and here with your last comment I thought you were turning a new leaf[/QUOTE]
There are no leaves to turn; wanting speech banned is wrong, flat out. If you don't like being called a word, either stop acting like the person that word describes, or find better company. Bossy isn't charged towards any one group, either, so it isn't hate speech.
Since when was bossy a genderspecific word?
gonna snip that
[QUOTE=CrucialSeBBi;44232035]Since when was bossy a genderspecific word?[/QUOTE]
it's not a gender-specific word. however, the idea that someone in a leadership position is generally considered 'bossy' or 'pushy' is. the idea (or, my interpretation) is that men are generally seen as the 'dominant' [sp](for lack of a better word)[/sp] gender, therefore they are more naturally accepted into leadership positions. women, however, are seen as more submissive, therefore people (men) don't like being told what to do by women and call them 'bossy' or something similar.
[QUOTE=Ganix565;44232036]i agree 100%, wanting speech banned is wrong. however, that's not what the video is about, my friend. it's meant to be taken figuratively, not literally.
it's about letting young girls know that it's ok to be ambitious; it's not about literally banning a word from use.[/QUOTE]
I was talking about banning words and pandering to feelings, not the video. I've got no problem with the video.
oh okay, my mistake

Yeah but I thought you would have turned over the "reading the thread that's only two pages long" leaf
We talked about this on the first page, it's just a catchy name, they're not trying to ban anything

Then why are you propping up strawmen? No one in this thread advocated for literally outlawing words
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;44231244]you know i usually shit on facepunch users for not understanding feminism at all but
wow
holy shit, wow.

i'm also sorry that those gosh darn imaginary feminists social justice feminazi insert-word-you-started-piggybacking-off-of you've encountered (through r/tumblrinaction, 4chan threads, and lmao pics) have bullied you and made you feel upset! maybe you can cheer up by owning them with an incredibly broad generalization that basically shits on everybody who agrees that sexism is an issue.[/QUOTE]
Reading your posts is painful as fuck.
Banning a word is going to fix this? Really? Nope.
It would just give that word more power and make it a more effective insult because now you've built it up to be something more than it is.
I mean, why? Are they all out of non-retarded ways to prevent sexism? Sorry for being so frank, but this is just outright dumb imo.
The irony when this post gets tagged as dumb
Instead of getting mad about the word, why not get behind the implications of the word?
In the context of children, if a boy is calling a girl bossy, you could ask him why he thinks she's being bossy. If it's for dumb reasons, like the girl was assigned to be the group leader and he doesn't like that, you should explain to him that it's her job to be acting like that and that sometimes you have to listen to other people's suggestions. However, if he's calling her bossy for completely legitimate reasons, like if she's pushing him around and telling him what to do with no authority, you should tell the girl that the boy would like to keep to himself.
You can try to ban or make words taboo all you want, but that won't matter. They'll always find another word.

Honestly man, if you don't see the irony/hypocrisy in complaining about off topic shit posts while you do just that, that's on you not anyone else.

Nothing you can say can get you out of this now, pal. I'd recommend you just leave this thread for a while so everyone can cool down.

Look, he says that women are biologically different. What a misogynist male pig.
Was talking with someone and noticed something weird. I said ~the whole bossy thing is confusing, women do better in school, just worse outside of it, so why focus efforts on school.
Response~yeah, there's obviously something wrong past school
I guess guys are just naturally dumb (or fighting and sports aren't the useful life skills they used to be and talking and socializing are better things to train into people)
Im gonna start saying bossy more often now

He's quite okay. And I don't see why it is? If you explain that people are homogeneous in their brain, that's completely false.
Ban feminism
